Couldn't resist having a look myself - account of the wedding of Doris GRANT, Francis STRINGER, December 1916.  Grace GRANT was a bridesmaid.

Hi Judith

What are you like?  The Aussie press always did good wedding write-ups  ;)

The Grant family are not related, but interesting to follow them anyway.

Aye mair questions than answers in a world where the past was a different place - that cannae be revisited!

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!

... Lizzie Belle Vanstone who married David MacEwan Mills at St. John's Cathedral on September 27, 1909 ... 1910 - St. Johns Cathedral - Baptism, Marriage and Burials
Burial Jan 9th Lizzie Belle Mills...

Hi cupoflife

Just found out that Lizzie was interred, with her mother (also Lizzie), in the former Colonial Cemetery, now Hong Kong Cemetery. The Cathedral has no burial ground.
